You're going to love it Mad. Serious beef, clean install and top-shelf craftsmanship. A great product at a very reasonable price...although I am sure shipping was brual to the Islands.

Nice!

I can't wait to get my tire carrier so my bumper can go to powder....


They also sent my a "blank" swing for the cooler rack so I can build my own...

I spent the $$ to powder coat also and scraped a lot of it off the first time I went wheeling:cry: I had it coated in a satin black with a light texture, I painted the front with Rust Oleum bed liner for $16 and it's a exact match to the rear.

As most of you know the rear bumper on my yellow77 was hitching a ride back home from the 40th Anniversary in California in 06 to be installed on J.R.'s rig here in the island. He paid for it and it was his. When it got back to the island JRs rig wasn't ready for it so he said to keep it on my truck till he was ready for it. That was 3 years ago. He was ready for it 2 years ago, I said that I would paint it for him with a good 2 stage paint. Buzy as I am, it never happened and being that the bumper has been in a couple off tip-overs while on my rig, little tweaks here and there, plus I grew to liking the bumper on my truck I decided to buy JR a new one and pay the shipping. So there it is....
Yesterday I delivered it to Joel, as humble as he is, he said I never had to do that and that painting it was good enough.
The Profab Fab bumper is SOLID! and it looks good on my rig. Taking it off my truck would be a bad thing.
It's the Aloha thing. Thanks braddah!

Do they make a version with the tire mount on the driver side? Seems like it's a real impediment to rear window visibility on the pass. side....

Not sure if they do. But with the cooler mounted on the rack it is taller than the tire mounted. That is probably why the tire rack is on the pass. side.

For the cooler mount I guess it wouldn't matter, but for the version with only a gas can mount, or with nothing but the spare tire, I'd prefer the tire be directly behind the driver seat, so that I have the option of craning my head around and looking out the rear window (Like for backing up and such)
